ive always thought of monarch's livery's as a bit old fashioned and a tad dull, although the last one was ok. but this new one oh my god what have they done! that look's absolutely dreadful in so many way's.
please tell me its not finished yet and that that purple is just an undercoat right?

I did say you would have to be blind to not see the changes.
Topspotter, l don't think less than 4 1/2 hours is to long to wait.

Thanks. I do agree that i like the revised livery but i cant understand why people disagree with it so much! Its only a small colour change and slight displacement with the layout of the colours!!

I think it is a little more than a slight displacement of the colours, the whole bloody tail is now mainly Yellow!!!.
I will know more within a few days what G-MRJK is going to look like, my understanding at the moment as per G-OZBK but with the tail white.
This might however change by the time it is finished.
Topspotter, now l know what you mean, but it did not come across that way as it is all over the web.

What has that poor aircraft done to deserve this?

Well, I can only imagine that the flight operations director* - who is ex BA - has been on the same stuff that Ayling Bob was on when he approved those ridiculous fins.

Fortunately, reason prevailed at BA and let's hope that it does at Monarch - PDQ!! The current livery was/is perfectly OK while there are far more important things to be concentrating on.

* Or is he now the CEO? I've lost the plot in the flurry of the 'revolving doors.'

Edit: I've checked, his job-title is 'Managing Director.'

What is going on at Monarch? Seems like there is a bit of an identity crisis going on. Yet another variation of the livery, which makes what 6 now?

Change that purple back to indigo, take away the 'M' off the fuselage & would look Ok. Really don't like the purple colour though & the old double coloured 'M' looked much better!

I don't know where your six comes from, l make it three.
However you might not be to far off with one of your suggestions.

Admittedly, small differences, but there's A\C with FlyMonarch.com titles (JK), the 2 different styled old Monarch titles, monarch.co.uk titles, new billboard titles on old livery & the new livery. Maybe I'm just too sad for noticing! lol

I hope someone changes their mind again & they keep the current livery!

I forgot about those, could be more than six, three so far just using the billboard titles.

Easily the worst colour combo I have ever seen in my life. What is that light purple pukage supposed to.. eh I dont even know how to word the question. What I am trying to say is Whisky Tango Foxtrot.

So what is the reason that MRJK will be in a different livery again? I really just don't understand the need for the logo on the tail & fuselage, is too much!

Apparently the hideous reddy purple colour was applied in error, it should have been the current Monarch colour, indigo. Having seen a paint shop recreation using the old colour it is certainly a vast improvement.

Yes the livery with indigo should work well.
I walked around "BK" today while it was parked in western maintenance area & it really does look awful.

"Hint MONARCH, hint".
Correct. NOT co.uk.

You don't walk down the High Street, (if you still have one), and see HSBC.com, or GREGGS.co.uk.
Utter cr*p.
